Khruangbin – “Maria También”
This trio comes from the remote locale of Burton, Texas. Which has a population of about 300 people, is land locked and isn’t incredibly diverse. Despite all of that, Laura Lee, Mark Speer & Donald Johnson create music that sounds like the soundtrack to an imagined 1960s Southeast Asain surf film. The trio began the Khruangbin project after collectively discovering Thai funk cassettes from the 60s & 70s. Most of their music is instrumental and is equal parts: dreamy, ethereal and psychedelic. Infusing elements of funky bass lines, twangy and fuzzy, wah-wah guitar riffs, 60s soul and traditional Asian melodies – Khruangbin creates compositions that are simply infectious. Check out their latest single “Maria También” from their forth coming record Con Todo El Mundo.
